SAVE ALL WARNINGS

AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR

FUTURE REFERENCE!

Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence

of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite

the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and by-standers a way

while operating a power tool. Distrac -

tions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do

not use any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) power tools. Unmodified

NOTICE

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

* The text used in the General Safety Rules section of this manual is verbatim, as required, from the applicable UL/CSA

62841-1 standard. This section contains general safety practices for many different types of power tools. Not every

precaution applies to every tool, and some do not apply to these tools.

• Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or remove the battery pack,

if detachable, from the power tool before

making any adjustments, changing ac-

cessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk

of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these

instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools and accessories.

Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts and

any other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If damaged,

have the power tool repaired before

use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind

and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the

working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for op-

erations different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

• Keep handles and grasping surfaces

dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Slippery handles and grasping surfaces

do not allow for safe handling and control

of the tool in unexpected situations.

Battery Tool Use And Care

• Recharge only with the charger speci-

fied by the manufacturer. A charger that

is suitable for one type of battery pack may

create a risk of fire when used with another

battery pack.

• Use power tools only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any

other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and fire.

• When a battery pack is not in use, keep

it away from other metal objects, like

paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws

or other small metal objects that can

make a connection from one terminal

to another. Shorting the battery terminals

together may cause burns or a fire.

ing a power tool. Do not use a power

tool while you are tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-

tion. A moment of inattention while oper-

ating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Al -

ways wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-

tion used for appropriate conditions will

reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position before

connecting to power source and/or bat-

tery pack, picking up or carrying the

tool. Carrying power tools with your finger

on the switch or energizing power tools

that have the switch ON invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool ON. A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating

part of the power tool may result in per-

sonal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unex-

pected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,

clothing, and gloves away from moving

parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connec-

tion of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected

and properly used. Use of dust collection

can reduce dust-related hazards.

• Do not let familiarity gained from fre-

quent use of tools allow you to become

complacent and ignore tool safety prin-

ciples. A careless action can cause severe

injury within a fraction of a second.

Power Tool Use and Care

• Do not force power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The

correct power tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it is de-

signed.

• Do not use power tool if the switch does

not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch

is dangerous and must be repaired.

Press Tool Safety

• Keep your fingers and hands away from

pressing attachments during press cy -

cle. Your fingers or hands can be crushed,

fractured or amputated if they become

caught between the attachment or between

these components and any other object.

• Never attempt to repair damaged press-

ing attachments (jaws, press ring, ac-

tuator, etc.). Discard the entire damaged

attachment. An attachment that has been

welded, ground, drilled or modified in any

manner can shatter during pressing re-

sulting in serious injury. Failure to replace

the entire pressing attachment may result

in component failure and serious injury.

• Large forces are generated during prod-

uct use that can break or throw parts

and cause injury. Stand clear during use

and wear appropriate protective equip-

ment, including eye protection.

• Only use RIDGID Press Tools with ap-

propriate RIDGID pressing attachments

(jaws, press ring, actuator, etc.). Other

uses or modifying the Press Tools for other

applications may damage the press tool,

damage the attachments and/or cause per-

sonal injury.

• Use proper tool, attachment and fitting

combinations. Improper combinations

can result in an incomplete joint, which

increase the risk of leaks, equipment dam-

age and injury.

• Before operating RIDGID® Press Tool,

read and understand:

– This operator’s manual,

– The attachment instructions,

– The battery/charger manual,

– The fitting manufacturer’s installation in-

structions,

– The instructions for any other equipment

AVIS IMPORTANT

DANGER

AVERTISSEMENT

ATTENTION

* Le texte utilisé dans les consignes de sécurité générales ci-présentes est tiré verbatim de la section de la norme UL/CSA

62841-1 applicable, comme l’impose la réglementation. Lesdites consignes de sécurité générales sont sensé couvrir de

nombreux types d’appareils électriques. Certaines d’entre-elles ne sont pas applicables à l’ensemble de ces appareils,

et certaines ne sont pas applicables à celui-ci.

Sertisseuses RP 240 et RP 241

Ne portez ni accessoires, ni bijoux.

Eloignez vos cheveux, vos vêtements

et vos gants des mécanismes lorsque

l’appareil fonctionne. Les foulards, les

bijoux et les cheveux longs risquent d’être

entraînés par les mécanismes en rotation.

• Vérifiez le bon raccordement et fonc-

tionnement des aspirateurs de pous-

sière éventuels. De tels aspirateurs peu-

vent limiter les risques associés à la dis-

persion des poussières.

• Ne permettez pas la familiarité issue

d’une utilisation fréquente de l’appareil

vous rendre complaisant au point d’ig-

norer les principes de sécurité applic-

ables. La moindre inattention peut engen-

drer de graves blessures corporelles dans

une fraction de seconde.

Utilisation et entretien des

appareils électriques

• Ne forcez pas l’appareil. Prévoyez l’ap-

pareil le mieux adapté aux travaux en-

visagés. Un appareil adapté produira de

meilleurs résultats et un meilleur niveau

de sécurité lorsqu’il fonctionne au régime

prévu.

• N’utilisez pas d’appareil dont l’interrup-

teur marche/arrêt ne fonctionne pas

correctement. Tout appareil qui ne peut

pas être contrôlé par son interrupteur est

considéré dangereux et doit être réparé.

• Débranchez l’appareil ou retirez son

bloc-piles avant tout réglage, remplace-

ment d’outils ou stockage. De telles

mesures préventives aideront à limiter les

risques de démarrage accidentel de l’ap-

pareil.

• Rangez les appareils électriques non

utilisés hors de la portée des enfants.

L’utilisation de cet appareil doit être

exclusivement réservé à du personnel

compétent. Tout appareil électrique peut

devenir dangereux entre les mains d’un

novice.

• Assurez l’entretien régulier des appa -

reils électriques et de leurs accessoires.

Assurez-vous de l’absence d’éléments

grippés ou endommagés, voire toute

autre anomalie susceptible de nuire au

bon fonctionnement et à la sécurité de

l’appareil. Faites réparer tout appareil

endommagé avant de le réutiliser. De

nombreux accidents sont le résultat d’ap-

pareils mal entretenus.

rancher l’appareil. Eloignez le cordon

de la cha leur, des matières grasses,

des objets tranchants et des mécan-

ismes. Les cordons d’alimentation endom-

magés ou entortillés augmentent les

risques de choc électrique.

• Lors de l’utilisation de l’appareil à l’ex-

térieur, prévoyez une rallonge électrique

homologuée pour ce type d’emploi. Cela

limitera les risques de choc électrique.

• S’il est inévitable d’utiliser l’appareil

dans des endroits humides, prévoyez

une source d’alimentation protégée par

disjoncteur différentiel. La présence d’un

disjoncteur différentiel limitera les risques

de choc électrique.

Sécurité individuelle

• Soyez attentif, restez concentré et faites

preuve de bon sens lors de l’utilisation

de ce type d’appareil. Ne jamais utiliser

ce matériel lorsque vous êtes fatigué

ou sous l’influence de drogues, de l’al-

cool ou de médicaments. Lors de l’utili-

sation d’un appareil électrique, un instant

d’inattention risque d’entraîner de graves

lésions corporelles.

• Prévoyez les équipements de protec-

tion individuelle appropriés. Portez sys-

tématiquement une protection oculaire.

Selon le cas, le port d’un masque à pous-

sière, de chaussures de sécurité antidéra-

pantes, du casque ou d’une protection au-

riculaire peut aider à limiter les risques de

lésion corporelle.

• Evitez les démarrages accidentels. As-

surez-vous que son interrupteur est

éteint avant de brancher l’appareil, y

introduire un bloc-piles, le soulever ou

le transporter. Porter un appareil électrique

avec son doigt sur l’interrupteur, voire le

brancher lorsque son interrupteur est en

position « Marche » est une invitation aux

accidents.

• Retirez toute clé ou dispositif de réglage

éventuel avant de mettre l’appareil en

marche. Une clé ou tout autre dispositif

de réglage engagé sur un élément mé-

canique pourrait provoquer un accident.

• Ne vous mettez pas en porte-à-faux.

Maintenez une bonne assiette et un bon

équilibre à tout moment. Cela assurera

un meilleur contrôle de l’appareil en cas

d’imprévu.

• Habillez-vous de manière appropriée.
